El Monte Airport, KEMT, San Gabriel Valley





















Approaching EMT from the west we checked in over the Rose Bowl.  The tower had us do a right base entry for runway 19, and report at the Santa Anita Racetrack.  There is free parking at EMT and Annia's Kitchen has good food and a nice patio with a view of the runway.  I noticed El Monte now has painted green "islands" now on the tarmac creating distinct taxiways.  The last time I was here it was just a huge blacktop where you would exit the runway anywhere, similar to Santa Monica.   Departing a right crosswind to the west from here you can fly below the LAX Bravo and catch a nice view of Dodger Stadium, Griffith Park, the Hollywood Sign, and Universal Studios as you join the Burbank Class C.  There's usually some helo traffic in these areas, so be sure and use 123.025.
